Amazingly luxurious hat ... in orange

I still keep making hats, and some days I'm especially glad I do because this hat for a little girl is fabulous - if I do say so myself. This is just another variation of one of my favourite - very simple - hat patterns, but this time I've done the rib with double worsted, and the 'body' of the hat with three strands; worsted, eyelash yarn, and faux fur yarn. I just wish the photos could demonstrate how thick and soft it has turned out. This combination of yarns is luxurious indeed.

Look - it even stands up all on it's own. I'm also wishing that I wasn't quite so effective at using up all this faux fur wool that I had, as I'd really like to make LOTS more colours of these. Such is life though, and I am certain that something else will capture my imagination with all the supplies to get crafting in 2012.
